I spoke to a lawyer (in California)regarding an on the job injury. He told me that it is my duty to file for Disability Insurance. And that he'd represent me in My Workers Comp case. He said he'd charge 15% of any settlement I'd receive from Workers Comp.
Does this mean that I can receive one lump payment from WC, from where he takes 15%? Or would WC give me a weekly check (until I recover) and does he get 15% from my weekly check? Thanks in advance.
Answer:
CUCH is correct---but also keep in mind...if you are given california state disability while you have a workers comp claim...you will be paying the state back the disability payments.and yes you would receive one lump sum, minus the 15%
you can get the worker comp company to give you weekly payments...but not usually unless your case is really Strong...if you got the advanced payments...again these will be deducted out of your settlement.
also...settlement for work comp are not a get rich thing...and it usually drags on for a very long time.
good luck
Your attorney is working on a contingency, where he will be paid his 15% when he takes your case and wins a lump sum...where as he takes his portion off the top.
THAT'S ALL HE GET'S FROM THE LUMP-SOME. THEY'RE THE CHEAPEST ATTORNEYS SO FAR. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY HIM BECAUSE ONCE YOU WIN YOUR CASE, HIS FEE IS DEDUCTED AND YOU'RE AWARDED THE REST WHICH COMES IN A HUGE CHECK THROUGH HIM TO YOU IN YOUR NAME.

Worker's Comp in Texas - 2 jobs, injured at 1?
"My friend" has a co-worker named "Linda". "Linda" works 2 jobs, one of which is M to F 830 to 430 M to T, F is 9 to 12. So that is her full time, primary job. She also has a 2nd job where she works weekends and the remainder of her Friday. "Linda" was recently injured at her 2nd job and is using the benefits of workmen's comp. It is not confirmed if at her second job she is full or part time since it is retail, but she is getting the benefits via check. "Linda" continues to work at her 1st job and her injury does cause some conflict because it has to do with her hands. My question is, what she is doing is that fraud, shouldnt she be at home collecting 2 checks?? I need to know what is going on here. I really cant obtain a straight answer via internet. Any input is appreciated...
Thank you!
Answer:
Basically she is ripping off he system, since she can work and perform. SOrry would report her as in you are the one with insurance premiums going up that is in fact paying her.
That question will be asked in wc court. They will ask everything and anything to try to prove that she was stretching the truth. I injured my back at in 2001...to this day...I am still getting injections in my back and cannot sit or stand for too long. I have a paper pushing job as a medical biller...but I can no longer do the "pastry" thing I loved to do. Trust me...they make you jump through hoops...and if they find her "fraudulent" she will get into trouble. I worked at a major insurance company...and they send investigators to spy on you and WATCH everything to see what you are doing. I had this happen to me also...but it came back that I have altered everything in my life not to aggravate my current ongoing injury. Someone is always watching.Insurance premiums are so high do to fraud...and they make money by not paying any out. I was diagnosed with a pulled hamstring by Workman's comp Dr..and after three of my doctors did testing, MRI's and physical therapy.they mis-diagnosed me and now they have to take care of me for this problem that will affect me the rest of my life. I actually herniated several disc and now they sit on my sciatic nerve which is extremely painful.
Thank you!

Worked 21 days so far, no day off in site, not even for an emergency?
My fiance works at a disturbution center in Louisville Kentucky. He has been there for about 4 months or so, he is full time and in the union. He has tendenitis (sp) in both of his arms. He has known about it for a whil but not had insurence until recently to go to the doctor. He has not have a day off in over 3 weeks, his arms are hurting him so bad he can barley lift anything ( which it the major part of his job) He called in today to tell them he was going to the doctor today to have his arms looked at. his boss said " well are you going to be at work?" my fiance told him he didnt know it was all up to what the doctor said. so his boss told him if he did not come in today even if he went to the doctors office and got a doctors note then he was fired. My fiance has never missed a day of work and is one of there better employees. Are they able to tell him he can not miss one day even for a health problem?
Answer:
As you indicate he is in a Union, he should contact his Union Rep.
If he is still within a probationary period and the problem is due to a pre-existing condition it will depend on what the Union contract specifies...they may be within their rights to terminate; however, the Union Rep. can file probably grievance and as he has not missed any work in the past and he has a doctor's note, get him reinstated and if he cannot work, see if he qualifies for disability leave (if past the probationary priod w/Dr.'s certification) or FMLA (if unable to work due to a pre-existing condition with Dr.'s certification), Workman's Comp. (if past the probationary period and no pre-existing condition), or return to work with restrictions-light duty until certified able to return to work (if on disability, Workman's Comp. or working with restrictions, most union employers have the right to send him to a Dr. of their choosing for an impartial medical exam to determine a worker's ability to work and the findings of that physician will be binding).
no, if he has a doctor's note it's illegal for them to fire him.
Only if your fiance claims this as a work injury, can they not fire him. Otherwise, yes they can. KY is an AT WILL state, and they don't have to give a reason to fire him at all.
depending on the state that you live in, like in New Hampshire it is not okay for an employer to put the employee in danger when they need medical attention.
They can tell him anything they want. That's why he is in the union. It's their job to make sure the employer is acting correctly.
Tell him to talk to his steward.
In UK it would be unfair dismissal
If he had a note from a doctor indicating that he should not work then the employer can't justifiably fire him. The employer should know this, it would open him up to problems with the union plus a wrongful termination suit from you. If he is still on inital probation, however, they can fire him without cause.
Unfortunately friend, it appears employers can do whatever they want these days. I hope he can find some other employer who treats him better. As one who has been going from part time job to part time job for the last 2 years I can tell you, the big boys hold all the chips and anyone who can keep a job should consider themselves lucky.
He really needs to talk to the union rep. Since he's a member of the union he can't be fired because he is injured and needs to see the doctor.
He needs to go to his union steward. This is against the law as we know it but unfortunately companies know they can break the law and treat Americans like the illegals they prefer to hire for lessor wages. Sounds like your fiance is either illegal or needs a lawyer. This is slavery.
look into the labor laws of your state.
There are some that state employees must be given 2 days off each week.
then you can call around the yellow pages for employment lawyers. Ask them, if they can point you in the right direction since its not an actual case YET.
A few places I worked HAD to give you 2 days off per week...unles you were upper mamnagement that was paid salary.
But hes paid hourly, so I would look into it.
If they fire him, wrongful temrination for going to the doctor.
An possibly harrassment if they make him work while injured
I work in Tennessee, which is also an at-will state. While it does mean that you can terminate employment with out cause or reason, there are federal laws that protect individuals from being fired when they are injured. It breaks federal labor regulations to fire somebody who is under doctor's care for a mental or physical problem that is preventing them from performing their job function (to an extent).
How does this help you? If he can prove he was fired for seeking medical treatment, you have a case. If the employer says he was fired for any other reason under the sun (or no reason at all...in an at-will state) it may be hard to fight.

Wont that be called false charge of defamation?India,see details?
Suppose some man 'R' sends an insulting letter containing unfair comments ; to some coworker 'S' at his home.
S gets hurt after reading that %26 HIMSELF shows that letter to his whole family %26 a group of people.
Now can S prosecute R under provision of defamation in India??
Answer:
Definitely he can prosecute R for the offence of defamation under section 500 of the Indian Penal Code as here a letter was written containing unfair comments that amounts to defamation as provided under section 499 of IPC as Whoever by words either spoken or intended to
be read, or by signs or by visible representations, makes or publishes
any imputation concerning any person intending to harm, or knowing or
having reason to believe that such imputation will harm, the
reputation of such person, is said, except in the cases hereinafter
excepted, to defame that person.
Now in this case this letter was read by his whole family %26 a group of people before whom his reputation was harmed by such imputation, hence it amounts to defamation.
Not in India..only in Pakistan and Iran

Won't it be better to make guns illegal?
The second amendment says the right to bear arms. However, I think it's flawed. If there's no gun at all, except in the army, things would be totally better.
First, there would be no mortality since all guns is taken away.
Second, no violence on TV and movies.
I think this prevents a lot of situations.
Answer:
I'd be careful, mate. The NRA will be knocking on your door soon. And no one dares to annoy the NRA. Biggest bullies in the US.
I particularly liked the crass effort of having a rally in Colorado a few weeks after kids shot their classmates at Columbine High...
who is going to come and take mine? I have many on my side and we ain't giving them over.
And you assume criminals would give up their guns? Making drugs totally illegal has worked sooooooo well.
If you make guns illegal, you take them out of the hands of honest citizens, and keep them in the hands of criminals.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/b...
Good for you.
Thank God you didn't write the Constitution.
Keep in mind that people kill people, not guns. (1) If you take away the weapon, people will just find another means for violence. (2) With the proper tools you can make your own guns. (3) The majority of the people on the streets shooting people didn't buy the guns legally anyway.
There will always be a market, therefore, there will always be a supply.
Registered gun users use their guns for these things: hunting, skeet shooting, rifle practice, and the extremely rare instance of self defense.
People who buy guns illegally use their guns for these things: gun crimes.
People managed to murder and rob witout guns for most of humanity - even if the criminals couldn't get guns, they'd go back to stabbings and beatings as the main way. Violence is as old as life itself. It's not just a modern phenomenon.
The law isn't so much a deterrent to the 1% of humanity that are criminals as it is a recourse to the 99% who aren't.
so then there will be a sharp spike in stabbings and chain sawings? I think it would be safe to say that guns make it safer because potential criminals know that that granny could take you down for trying to take her purse.
You are absolutely right. There would be no mortality "since all guns is taken away". We would all be immortal. We would continue to procreate and never die. We will go from a world population of 6 billion to 600 billion within a few years.
Oh, wait, but there will still be bombs, bats, knives, and poisons. We should make those illegal as well. And then cancer, heart disease, and diabetes should be illegalized. Hmmm...fire kills people too. Lightening kills people. Sheesh, I think we need to find paradise and live there.
Hmm...
Well, making them illegal will simply make them more valuable, like it did with controlled substances.
However, America's so-called "democratic" constitution NEEDS a change.
The Second Amendment was written when... Oh, a couple of centuries ago?
Lets see... Two centuries ago, they had guns that took like, a minute to load (soldiers could do it in fifteen seconds though), and couldn't be trusted to actually HIT anything at a range greater than twenty yards.
Why did soldiers line up and fire in the olden days instead of what we do today? Because with those guns, the only way you're going to score a hit is if you fire like six hundred shots at once at the same target...
Now, compare a one-shot, minute-to-load pistol to a sub-machinegun.
Compare a long-barrel rifle that can't be trusted to hit anything to an M21 sniper rifle.
Get the idea?
Oh, and I don't think crazy people should have access to handguns either.
Like on the Simpsons...
Gunsmith: Well, it says here on your record that you're mentally ill, and a danger to the public!
Homer: Awwww
Gunsmith: Don't worry! That just limits you to ten handguns.
Homer: Woo-hoo!
No. I don't believe it would be better to make guns illegal because it just makes it harder for the honest person to defend themselves. Illegal or not, criminals get guns no matter what the laws are. My opinion of course.
In a perfect world, the gun would never have been invented or used to kill other people. This world is far, far from perfect. If gun ownership by private citizens was made illegal, only law abiding citizens would follow the law and give up their guns. The criminals, who probably have unregistered weapons, would not.
Also, people own guns for other reasons. Some people like to hunt, some need to protect themselves or their property from animals, some people collect them, some like target shooting. There are many ways to harm someone. Guns are only one method.
Hell no, guns must not go.
Get more comfortable with them. Go shooting sometime.
There would be no mortality? Are you stupid or just retarded? More people are killed each year in automobile accidents each year than are in gun related accidents. Guns are not the only way to kill people. You can kill someone with your bare hands. So are we going to start taking peoples hands away?
Making guns illegal will do nothing. Drugs are illegal need I say more?
So, your going to ignore thousands of years of human history, where the state has absolute power over the populace. Where a government has no check against it, there is an inevitable revocation of freedoms.
Then there are the 20 plus decisions from the Supreme Court has declared the police do not have to respond to a call.
The first recorded murder was with a rock. Any object can be used as a weapon.
Another thing, your blaming an inanimate object. An object that has to abide by the laws of physics, in other words it can't even load itself.
The average response time of the Los Angeles Police Department is 15 minutes. If a person's throat is slashed they can bleed out in less than a minute.

Women discriminating men?
In my state there are many sex criminals and rape. So many women are being scared to men. Every time I see men walking at the stree, and I see woman they will get scared and walk fast even I didnt do anything wrong. They would do thing just because sex crime is very high. Some women would think men is the rapist. Is this called discrimination?
Answer:
The sex criminals and rapists must be tried in court and if found guilty must be imprisoned or meted a death penalty.
yeah for sure this is discriminating. just because you're a guy does not mean you're going to rape them and they shouldn't act like it.
Nope. It might be discrimination if you were causing harm to the man in some way.

Woman raped before "honour killing"?
Oh my god, what is going on in this world? How can that be true?And in London? ( I am refering to the homicide of the 20 year old kurdish woman who got killed by her own family)
Answer:
How on earth can they still refer to this as an "honour" killing when she was raped and tortured before hand? It is murder for sexual gratification, and that is how it should be treated
that's radical islam for ya.
Brutal and unforgivable, bring back hanging
It happens all the time in the Muslim world. They never kill the guy that did the rapping only the woman who was rapped. I know, it's a sick culture and they call it a religion of peace.
It seems to be happening so much over in the uk at the moment.
These people and there families that allow this to happen are so sick and deserve to spend a very long time in prison.
It staggers the mind and breaks the heart. Religion is truly the root of all evil.
Horrendous! Just plain horrendous.
they wouldn`t know honour if it got up and punched them.
And guess what? Their religion was Islam...or should I shut up and not say such (true) things?
Religion destroys everything.
As I understand things, Islamic law does not permit the death-sentence for virgins. Thus if the girl is raped,she can be "executed"
I read it too. Very upsetting, and it beggars belief. Why in London - because New Labour opened the flood gates to all sorts.
Muslims must think they regain their honour by committing rape and murder. Just horrible.
Is this a culture we are supposed to learn from?
this is now becoming quite common in this country of ours unfortunatley this case is only the tip of the iceberg so sad
Interesting isn't it how this question about a crime turns into a a rant against Islam by some of those answering the question.
A young woman was murdered, that is crime enough. She was murdered on the orders of her uncle and her father who co-opted others into committing Banaz's torture, rape and murder. Her murder has nothing to do with honour, 'honour killing' is a handy media headline title for the crime as is reflected in the paragraph of this report:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/londo...
What I am sure of is that this concept of 'honour killings' is alien to Islam in the same way that paedophilia is alien to the beliefs of Christians. That does not mean that those purporting to be Christians will commit such crimes and - terrible though it is - that is the same as in the case of Banaz's murder at the hands of a supposedly Muslim family:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/america...
And they will have to keep them away for other prisoners whilst inside..
MORE EXPENSE
There are many cheaper options

I'm due in court in 8 hours time to testify about my ex hitting me on a 2nd common assault offence.
The CPS have asked me to attend as witness, which I agreed (but personally didn't want to - stress!) - because otherwise they would summon me.
They are the ones prosecuting, not me. I dont think I can attend, what will happen if I dont show. I should be in bed now, but can't sleep, worrying about this.
Don't get me wrong, my ex is a complete idiot and has lost me for life for what he did, but I cant face the court thing - feel ill.
Answer:
Sorry about your situation.
The CPS have behaved badly but, you have left it very late to sort it out. If you cannot possibly face it then you must contact the CPS and explain that you are too ill to attend, as soon as possible. Get someone to ring for you if neccessary. See your G.P. and then get some legal advice from the Citizen Advice Bureau or Victim Support.
Try not to worry please. You are the victim here. Whilst you perhaps have a duty to attend, there is also a duty for you to be looked after and advised properly and that hasn't happened.
Oh darling - I know this is hard, but you have to go. If you have agreed and don't go, they will issue a bench warrant and then you'll be in trouble which is an absolutely wrong turn in these events. Court isn't so bad - you CAN do it. Just go in and tell what you know and leave. Don't let the stress get to you. It's like letting him win again. Be strong. And get some rest. The sun will come up in the morning!
The guy is a moronic coward who hits women, you have the opportunity to remove him from society for a while, or at least 'pay' for his crime, why wouldn't you want to do that, if not for society, if not for you, but maybe for his next unfortunate girlfriend?
You should go. If he thinks he can get away with it, he may well do the same (or worse) again.
you've agreed to it now so unless you can sort something out in the morning you'll just have to get it over with
Local laws vary but most courts can compell you to tesify and penalize you if you don't. If they've gone to the trouble of bringing him to trial I doubt they'll be terribly amused if you don't show up.
Having worked in the court system for over 26 years, I can only say that you do need to appear in court and you do need to testify. In Domestic Violence cases, it is always the District Attorney or Prosecutor that prosecutes. Sometimes the victim just does not have the energy or will to do it. Go to the court first thing in the morning and find where the prosecutors office is and ask to speak with the person trying your case. Talk with him or her and tell them you fears. They will help you through this.
I have seen women who have not appeared in court against their spouse/boyfriend/ex or have asked the court not to prosecute them and have had the woman get brutally assaulted again and in one case, murdered. He is being charged with a 2nd offense and obviously has an assaultive record. He needs to be sent a message. Go to court and testify. Hopefully when he gets out of jail or prison, he will leave you alone. You can only hope.
this is a really hard thing for you but you know in your heart its the right thing to do look in 4 years could you still be with him noooooooo so do it now dont drag i out
you can do it girl. i can only imagine how stressful this must be for you, and i know how bad stress can get. but you got this far into taking him in. you can go all the way. im sure you have your friends and family who will support you and keep you strong. and if it turns out you need to cry during the testimony. just do it. dont hold anything in.
If you dont turn up, the police will come round and find out why, so you may as well get it over with, all you have to do is tell the truth, thats it, most court cases are not like you see on the telly, you will not be tried in legal knots by a lawyer, they just want to hear your side of the story, so tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!
good luck and dont panic, you will be fine.
if you don't do something about him he will keep doing it!!
In the US if they have supenoa you will be spending time in jail if you don't show
If you are asked to testify you will be informed
it is normal to be nervous to testify due to stress
the lawyer will brief you what is expected to happen
what can happen if you don't testify like you agree
the judge can send out a warrant
to have you appear ( subpoena )
you ex sounds like an idiot my dear
just do the best you can.
you will be questioned by your lawyer then a second time by your husband's lawyer. This process is known as cross examination. This questioning is to see if your testimony is accurate. Rest assured you ex will have to go through the same process with your lawyer when he or she cross examines him.
I really feel sorry for you, you are left in a position where you obviously feel you could be putting him away.
1. He chose to hit you
2. You will get help at the court, they will undestand your reluctance to testify.
3. Unfortunately you must go, failure to attend could end up with a bench warrant for your arrest, so that you would be taken to court by the police.
Finally, the scumbag deserves all he gets, no one has a right to hit a woman and get away with it.
Go through with it sweetheart and then come back here and talk it out. From what I've read in the replies so far, the only thing you'll get is support from the folks here.
So how did it go (I assume it's over by now)?

So how did it go (I assume it's over by now)?
Without murdering someone how can I get the police to turn up at my house before hell freezes over?
Answer:
I'm not going to rant or rave, or be sarcastic, but I'm not going to be popular.
I'm a Police Officer and I've literally just finished 3 nights. just a handful of officers to cover a v large city.
In those 3 nights I've dealt with Parents hitting kids, spouses beating the other, a young lad saying he was going to commit suicide, an attempted Murder! a racial assault, a glassing, an attempted car break and over two dozen assaults (usually drunk mates who've fallen out) and that's in between taking statements, storing exhibits, collecting clothes for prisoners and calling the statistic people to record it all! I must state the majority is alleged, of course!
I'm in no way complaining. I am so proud to do this job and attempt to help all I meet.
I just want to say that 99% of us are trying our best, our hands are so often tied by procedure and what is required we can't always be there straight away. We're not always right, but your average copper is really trying, I promise.
That's all, I just wanted to say..
why?
well you could call in an officer down call of course it would be a fake but im willing to bet any police officer within a 5 mile radius would be to your house within 30 seconds.
What's your question? If you have a murder, the police will come. Why would you want the police to come if there are no crimes where you live?
I had an 'incident' earlier this year - chavs shooting ball bearings at my windows, police called, hour later - chavs still there, police not. My dad ended up ringing the police and threatening them with reporting them to their Chief Constable, the ex chief constable, the ex chief constable of the Isle of Man (very random!) and a call to my MP (who he knows). They turned up three minutes later.
So threats. Or tell them you're about to commit a racially motivated crime yourself :P
Tell them you've punched a burglar.
You'll probably get done for assault.
What is wrong why do you need the police?If you feel you are being ignored file a complaint .If something happens and your calls were ignored you could sue them
I assume by the response time you are talking about the good old UK police? Tell them someone has broken in and that you think they have a gun, scream N0oooooooo and put the receiver down, this should armed response the full works there in no time. Of course they might be a tad annoyed and book you for wasting police time.
I know how you feel, I was sorely tempted to carry out my suggestion, but hadn't got the guts. Hope they turn up sometime this year.
I reported an attempted break-in once and while making the call I pretended to call my wife to pass the shotgun (which I haven't got) to scare off the intruders. The operator heard me say that, and they were at the door in under a minute!
Call the emergency number (911 here) and hang up... they should be there in minutes. Worked with my then 1 year old who played with the phone and I just grabbed it and hung up. By accident he had dialed 911 though and Police came ASAP to check on us .should not do it lightheartedly though, calling the Police for no reason could be fined.
If they don't think it is a real emergency they take their time. I had nasty neighbors who put their basketball hoop right by my window. I got rude one day and things escalated, finally the police showed up, hours later. So, explain your situation over the phone, Especially if you are threatened or feel threatened. Do not call in fake calls,cause you could get arrested for that.
Nice story I heard a few weeks ago
Guy sees yobs trying to break into his car - phones police to request assistance. Told very sorry but nobody around - no police officers available, maybe in an hour. Man puts down phone.
Phones police a few minutes later says "Don't bother to send anyone in an hour. I've sorted them. I shot them" Puts down phone.
A couple of minutes later, 3 police cars, lights flashing, ambulance, armed police vehicle all screech to a halt outside the guy's door.
He answers the door and says "I thought you said there wouldn't be anyone available for an hour"
Moral there, somewhere!
An old strory about a chap who rang the police and said that his nieghbours were causing a disturbanceand would they sent some one round to sort it out. the reply was I`m very sorry but we do not have any officers available as we are sort staffed, to which he replied welll i`ve got a gun i`ll go round and shoot the bu""er. there was twenty armed police at his house in a matter of minutes,helicopters the lot when they said they weregoing to arrest him for wasting the police`s because he didn`t have a gun he replied well you didn`t have any officers.
"officer down!"
Perhaps you need to find just cause to get them to turn out.
Call 911. Tell them why you need an officer to show up. If they don't respond, your reason is not as important as you think.
Stay away from the state of Michigan. The town of Hell, Michigan freezes over every year.
Phone them and tell them that you're just aiming your shotgun out of your bedroom window at some chavs in the street below...they should come then :-D
Park in the wrong place. swear at the local ethnic newsagent
( Woops I did not mean to be politically correct ) Hope I wasn't
why would anybody want police around ?
Light up a cigarette in a pub, then scoot and leave your name and address.
citizen,your answer is shithot,if my wife kept beating me up and i keep phoning them,they must think you deserve it or there afraid of her.you havent said why you phoned them mate so im only having a bit of craic with you,no offence.
You don't say why you want the cops - could it be trouble with neighbours or the vegetables (my husband's term for the local neds cos they haven't a brain between them)? If you've been calling and getting nowhere, do as some of the other replies have suggested. You could just sit and keep phoning constantly until someone decides to make a guest appearance OR go down to the cop shop in person - they can't ignore you if you are right there in front of them.
You think you`ve got problems!
Our temporary 2-officers police station closes at 5.pm until 9.am the following morning.
And I`ve never seen more than one officer there any day.
Ohh, and it is shut from Friday evening 5.pm until Monday 9.am.
:-(
You could have doughnuts and coffee there...
Without a W4 form am I still employed?
I started a night position at a hotel that is under new ownership, and for about a week now i havent signed any paper workproving that i work there other then detailed e mail from the manager.I was offered a more organized job and left on an e mail stating it was my last day in the night position and was going to a different hotel and could work still but as a part time day crew.He has declined and wants a W4 form.Was i fired or did i quit?When should i get paid?No other employees know when pay day is.Most as well have not signed any paper work.Help
Answer:
This sounds a little fishy to me. You should know when payday is and that is when you should get paid. Keep track of how many hours you worked and expect a check soon. If you do not get one in the next two weeks I would call federal wage and hour division. Keep proof of that email. When you wrote the letter that you will no longer work the shift you were hired for you quit your job. You cannot decide what shift you work. It seems that place is not doing things too legally.
I think you quit.
The W4 form is a good sign, because it is used to calculate the withholdings from your paycheck. If he wasn't going to pay you, why does he need to know how much to withhold? Any percentage of zero is still zero.
Just go to your new job and give the old job the W4, but ask him when you can expect to see the money.
W-4 has nothing to do with being hired or holding a position. It is merely a tax withholding statement required by IRS for proper documentation and withholding of taxes. He cannot withhold your pay as a result of not filing the form however he may and should have documentation from previous owners on all employees and file and withhold based on those records or summarily submit for withholding on a 1 exemption, unmarried status which allows for the highest withholding amount. New ownership does not change paydays as those are defined by state law in which you must be paid within a certain number of days beyond the end of the period work which is 2 weeks in my state.

With the smoke ban are you allowed to smoke in your car?
Answer:
yes you can smoke in your own car but not a work vehicle you share with colleagues. you can smoke in your own home, but not if that is someone elses work place ie you have a carer etc. bascially personal space yes, any work or public space no.
protest and smoke everywhere
Is your car a public area?
Yes - for now.
If you use it to make money, ie taxi, courier etc no you are not allowed.
if just you and your car for leisure, yes you can
I should hope so, are they going to take all of our rights away from us? As for company cars, apparently not, as other people may need to use them. I think the no smoking ban is bloody ridiculous, before we know it we will be banned from doing anything. We are heading for a dictatorship if you ask me!
Not unless you open the windows...?!!
Lisa's right - your own car you can, your work car you can, as long as it's only used by you and no one else (and of course, as long as work don't mind), but not if it's a work vehicle that someone else may drive. Also, a works vehicle if someone else is in it. Hmmmm, but what if they smoke? What if it's a company vehicle, that someone else could use, but they smoke too?
So far ,you can,but the nhs wants it banned from smoking in your own car claiming its just as dangerous as using your mobile phone while on the move.also if you live in a council/rented house the council send out circulars telling you not to smoke for 24hrs in the house if you are expecting council workmen in the home to do repairs,etc will be getting somebody bringing out some kind of Hookah Pipe (what the Turks/Egyptians smoke through ) that will fit onto dashboard
is it a work vehicle, or do you use it for work and give other people rides in it?
With the Scooter Libby and illegal immigration situations, do you think Bush hates laws?
At this point, do you think he wonders "How can I make my country hate me even more?"
Answer:
I honestly don't think Bush is worried that people hate him. I think he is more concerned about what his political base thinks of him. Maybe not as much now as before the elections but I think he commuted Liddy's sentence partly to appease conservatives. Although I think it has to do more with the fact that Bush values loyalty above anything else and he is protecting one of his own. His immigration plan, as of right now, could be considered a huge failure and has pissed off a lot of conservatives. All of his major inititives (immigration, Soc Sec reform, etc) have been massive failures and republicans are starting to distance themselves from him. I think he realizes that he is a liability and is trying to shore up his base.
He thinks he is exempt from laws
He fancies himself our Emperor
Probably, what does it matter to him, he's not running for re-election so he thinks he can act like a total fool.
Well actually his pardon if Libby is within his legal right. So he is not violating any law. Every President pardons their buddies!
And what do you people expect!!?? Everyone acts like the President has control and affects everything! So why should they not act like Kings
Bush just hates laws that don't agree with him, which includes that darned Constitution. Luckily, he's nulled a lot of this, including the separation of powers with the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/...
I really don't think he wonders how he can make the country hate him more, but I do think he wonders how 30% of America STILL supports him. I mean, seriously, what do you have to do to get the other 90-ish million Americans that still support you to stop?
I don't agree with his stance on illegal immigration. But the Scooter Libby thing I don't have a problem with, he was clearly within his constitutional rights to commute him. Besides, I don't think 2.5 years of probation and a 250,000 dollar fine is considered getting off the hook. Even a majority of the presidential hopefuls agree with the president's decision. President Clinton got off scott free for committing the same crime. Where's the justice in that?
I doubt he gives much thought to laws. Rove and Cheney decide what to do and ignore any law that stands in their way. They then tell the speech writers what to write down for Bush to (try to) read to justify and/or cover up their actions.
Bush does hate big words, thinking too hard, and spiders.
I don't think he hates laws, he uses them to his advantage. What he does feel about laws is that he is immune to them and they do not apply to him or by default Dick Cheney.
L'il Me...your ignorance is simply astounding. Bush stays within the law on everything he does. if you would listen to some source beyond the liberal mainstream media, you would hear him quoting chapter and verse on practically every move he makes...he is very diligent in doing so, to distance himself from KKKlinton, who regularly flaunted the law in both his public and private dealings.
Bush doesn't care who likes him...and i am no fan of his immigration stance...he just plugs on doing what he believes is the right thing to do...
think of the ceaseless pounding the liberal media has given him over Iraq...we must fight in Iraq or have situations in the US as they have had in Spain, France, and most recently Britain.
Libby broke only one law--in giving innaccurate answers to a special prosecutor who had an unlimited budget to find SOMETHING...Killary lied to congress two hundred times in one hour when she repeated the phrase "I Don't Recall" TWO HUNDRED TIMES in one hour when being asked about her dealings in White Water...
history will deal gently with W...just as the histories have with Churchill...the liberals HATED Winston Churchill, but he saved Britain from the Nazis...and W will have saved the Western World from Islamic subjugation...even ninnies like you.
Scooter Libby was a good thing. Also he should pardon our Border guards. Bush is an honest man who holds high regard for the office he holds and for the law. He is occasionally wrong . Like all he is human.
I honestly think he looks at himself as a king or at least a ruler. He feels he is free of any law that he was assigned to protect and feels his friends should be treated the same. He thinks he can expand globally without fail or care , expanding US ideals much like an old world King.
I really believe he wants a tolitarian government. One that would disband both the Judicial and Legislative Branches and give him absolute power. The best proof in this? He wages physical,economic and political wars on countries who currently employed this idea, though most have changed since the wars ( i.e Iraq, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan) He wants a country like pre-war Iraq, one where the ruler is of total control and unquestioned.
A man like this is a massive threat to global security. We are truly dealing with a madman who could easily bring us to total annihilation with the stroke of his hand. Right now Russia has begun its ICBM program which was halted in the mid 90s through the START II Treaty. The reason being ? Because Bush is carrying through his Missile Defense Shield Program throughout West Europe. Incase you haven't noticed? This is how the Cold War began over 50 years ago. If this doesn't stop quickly, we will re-enter the Cold War, only this time against much more enemies.
TONY I totally agree with you!!

With the new taco rules for recovery trucks can you help explain the new rules vosa themselfs dont know?
Answer:
http://www.transportoffice.gov.uk/crt/ve...
Tacho regs and working time directive from the Govt and EU is a real pain, especially with the new Digital Tachos, that have 38symbols instead of just 3.
Hope the above link helps you
the tacho is for idiots who have to be told when to eat when to sleep and how long for, plus how fast they can travel, how many days they can work how long their weekend should be.
it is an act of war inflicted on british transport to use this german invention giving europe tota control over what goes on in british transport system, after world war two the tacho was a terrable insult to the british to spied on by a german invention, they used road safety as a cover, to destroy the british freedom of the log book.
With the Jury deliberating at this moment, what will be the outcome of Conrad Black's trial?
I predict that he will be found not guilty on all charges.
You heard it here fist.
Well, actually, I can't say that for sure because you may have heard similar predictions elsewhere.
But you heard it from me here tonight.
What do you think? Will Lord Black be guilty or not guilty on the 42 charges?
Answer:
It's always hard to tell with a jury, but I think that Conrad Black will be found guilty on a majority of the charges. If you read some of the evidence, it's just stunning how he looted shareholders.
They wanted to be a hung jury but the judge sent them back. They will compromise and find him guilty on about 1/4 of the counts.
Conrad Black is pompous windbag. He considers himself Canadian Royalty (if there can be such a thing). I honestly hope he goes to Jail for many, many years. I am confident that many of my fellow Canadians share this opinion.
This is a very delicate question -if answered it might lead you to the Gauntanamo Bay! I know the answer but cannot talk it loud for obvious reasons. Try the Q%26A way always inquisitive /critical and try not to harm any . IF YOU WANT AN ANSWER On THE COMMON RUT OF MANKIND LINES You ill have to go to the mind sets of the jury%26 the judges -AT HOW THEY WILL SIEVE THE INFORMATION LAID BEFORE THEM BY THE LAWYERS IN COURT, THEN APPLY THE LAW OF NATURE-CALLED THE NATURAL JUSTICE IN SOME quarters. Then you will have to read in the minds of the judges- at how much of the law ( they know)they have to apply ( not to get an appeal on their backs) All know they are humans and liable ( not prone) to errors-see the miscarrriage of justice in societies and poor innocent ones kept so long in prisons to be released later( many gone for ever) -without compensation./law is a difficult area( note the disagreements ( meaning "not concurr" among judges of the highest appeal courts of any society ( except the Saddam Hussein likes) Courage my dear once you follow my advice you will come out with better knowledge.Perhaps you will discover why it is said "Justice is blind"( have you not seen some stuff around the eyes of a lady displayed in front of court room or public place? The think on this saying-What justice will we get from something blind?
I have been long excuse me I HAD TO TO CLEAR YOUR MIND ABOUT JUSTICE AND ITS DELIVERY.
Believe me justice that rules societies is not easy.It is not only the accused whose life is at stake but the -judges too are put on trial !Lucky are the jury men who emerge safe and sound from the combat!
So many questions ones? Why all this at an era of evolution ( which has always existed) of our social.? Believe me it's one of the most fascinating hobbies one could adopt to see how dirty is our social-without blaming any!
I think he will be found guilty (not on all counts)but he will serve time in jail definitely.

With all the prison overcrowding and much more violent criminals these days can someone tell me why.?
Alcatraz has never been rebuilt?
Answer:
Lack of fresh water and waste disposal
There are many unemployed people that would love a job with law enforcement. Building more prisons would not only keep unlawful people off the streets but provide employment for the many people that have lost their jobs when so much industry was sent overseas.
Rebuilding Alcatraz would be a good start.
Good question. From what I understand it's been declared a historic site and as such, it cant be destroyed. There is also something about Native Americans wanting to preserve it.
It would have to be completely torn down and rebuilt because it's completely rotted. The big thing to do now is to build prisons in the middle of a desert. That seems to be working well in Arizona. They use tents instead of buildings. It's so far away from civilization, it's almost impossible to escape from it. I agree we need more prisons, but no one wants them in their neighborhoods.
Because morons like Mayor Bloomberg and liberal idiots wont have truth in sentencing.
Look how the Kennedy family took the lives of FOUR women and how fast folks blame guns for crimes just like someone saying "A fork made Rosie O' Donnell a fat slob"
By the way Rosie has an armed body guard yet she says the general public should not be afforded the same protection.
If a criminal knows your unarmed then your a target
Think about how many NYC police were arrested using their service firearms to do drug related crimes in New Jersey and Rhode Island and how many people Janet shoot them up Reno massacred (104) and settled an out of court wrongful death action.
Democraps are great for killing folks like the Kennedy clan and Reno and getting away with murder

Wisconsin child custody question?
is it possible at all for a man to gain full custody of their child while in prison?
Answer:
Absolutely not.
No one can have custody of a child while they themselves are in custody.
no. if the mothers parental rights were terminated and there was no other family for the child to go to, they would become a ward of the state until the child's father is released from prison.
Actually yes it is POSSIBLE. Now why don't you tell us the WHOLE story?

Absolutely not.

Windfarms can you claim compensation?
if a wind farm is to be built near your home and your house value drops can you claim for compensation from any where / anyone ???
Answer:
no
Who votes for this muppet to have a nuclear station built in their back yard...
i thought windfarms were supposed to be a good thing?
advertise your house for sale in 'green lovers weekly' and im sure you'll make a nice healthy profit.
Probably not. To be compensated you would have to show that it unreasonably interfered with your use of your land.
Why the heck would the property value drop. It doesn't pollute, it doesn't make noise.
I understand why a coal fired powerplant would cause property values to drop but not a windmill.
im sorry but i think that windfarms look far more attractive to look at than big electricity pylons running through miles of fields and hills! and its more economic!
What? Oh Please its about time they built more windfarms. Save the planet!!
God bless the brits! moaning bunch of hypocrits
NOT IN MY BACK YARD
Before not too long every house will have one on the chimney

no

Will you go to jail if you missed your court day?
I have a case that invlove fishing illegally at a certain beach. I was assign to go to court for the last couple of weeks ago, but I forgot the date and all about it untill I got a warrant. Now tomorrow I will have to go to court again. Will I be put in jail for it if I missed the court day earlier? I'll for sure show up tomorrow and see how it goes.
Answer:
Look - if they sent you mail by regular letter - you can say you never got it ... burn the sucker if you did ... tell them they should have sent it certified so you would be ensured to have received it and that your neighbors and you are allways exchanging mail because the postal person sucks.
Then tell them you were not SPORTS FISHING ... you were fishing because you were hungry for carp and if you caught any game fish - you don't know how to cook the suckers anyway and you only keep NON-GAME FISH - so - if you are a NON-GAME FISH - MAKE THEM SHOW AND PROVE THAT A LICENSE IS NECESSARY FOR CATCHING FISH THAT ARE NOT EVEN REGULATED .
Don't back down - make them prove you received the notice ... otherwise they would not have notified you TWICE ... they would have just arrested you - but; they cannot prove is because IT DID NOT COME CERTIFIED MAIL ... there is absolutely no proof that you received it ... especially if you burnt it right now over your toilet and flushed it ... your first letter that is ... make them be accountable and show proof they sent it to you ... a receipt for 41 cents with your name signed on it ... something ...
Tell them that you read the statutes and codes and/or etc. and you do not ever recall that fish that are not in the book - that are not considered game fish had to be having a valid fishing license FOR GAME FISH - WHEN THEY ARE NOT GAME FISH ...
If Carp are considered GAME FISH AND NECESSARY TO HAVE A GAME FISHING LICENSE - WHY THEN DOES IT NOT SAY SO - so ... then prove from the fishing book that carp are necessary to have a GAME FISHING LICENSE WHEN THEY ARE NOT A GAME FISH AND NO REGULATIONS ON THEM ARE EVEN MENTIONED ...
If you caught 50 carp with a valid fishing licence - could you be over your limit?? If you could not be over your limit because there is NO REGULATIONS REGARDING CARP - HOW COULD YOU HAVE BROKEN ANY LAW ...
Make them prove it and act really really STUPID when you explain it and DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM IN ANYTHING EXCEPT THAY YOU ARE NOT BOUND BY A LICENSE IF YOU ARE CATCHING CARP ... make them prove you were fishing for other things ... say you had a loaf of bread and were using bread balls to catch the carp cause catfish won't really even mess with them - BUT CARP EAT THE BREAD BY THE LOAF ... and nobody wants a stinky old carp.
If they ask you how you cook them - tell them with a little bit of lemon juice, some salt and pepper and you PRESSURE COOK IT FOR AROUND ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES ... and the bones then become like that of salmon and it tastes just as great or better ... some times onion is gr4eat in there and making the stuff into fish patties with some corn meal, flour, egg and spices - then deep fried in patties is a real treat for a BOTTOM FEEDER THAT IS NOT REGULATED ...
Prove you were out for game fish - if not - then you were out for CARP ALONE - AN UNREGULATED FISH ... same as butterfly hunting ... you cannot be charged with hunting duck without a license when you have a butterfly net and running through the pastures bare donkeyed ... can you ... YOU CERTAINLY CAN .. but; they got to prove you were trying to catch ducks with that net and not butterflies ...
Hope this helped - not any legal advice whatsoever - just common sense .

Be prepared to explain yourself and to make arrangements to pay the fine. You might not go to jail. They'd rather make the arrangements for you to pay the fine.
I thought beaches were public not private property...
I think if you have a warrant youll get arrested if you go...hire a lawyer to go in for you...
I would at least call a lawyer and ask him...
No but if you miss another court date, you'll have Dog hunting you down and then you'll get a free 5 minute inspirational speech that will change your life forever.
good luck, but be careful when your cell mate drops the soap in the group showers.
You will definitely go to jail. They may give you solitary confinement (for 2 or 3 weeks).
our jails are so over crowded we send murders home early, we aint got room for illegal fisherman
unlikely tha they would do so just because u'd missed ur court hearing for once, but be sure to be prepared to explain why u missed it.
fishing illegally at a certain beach,this could be due to the reason that the plce thatu were fishing is a private property or because the local authority prohibits people fishing there.
it's not a big crime so i think everything should be fine.
( the aboves are my point of view for it)
You will not go to jail if you resolve the citation, i.e. pay it. If you want to go to trial, you will most likely have to post a bond with the court for the maximum amount of the fine. You will be facing a second charge tomorrow for your failure to appear.

Will you give money to people panhandling?
Answer:
Never. With those who are friendly after I say no, if I feel like it, if they clearly are trying to do something to better themselves (pick up cans, whatever), I offer to buy them lunch, I sit down with them, I treat them like humans, I shake their hand and say goodbye without judgment.
Don't usually see them again. Generally we just need to remember we're human and don't like where we are to get moving again.
No!
No. If the people will not get a job, the the people do not deserve money. Even a minimum-wage job is better than no job at all.
so they can shoot into the arm or pour it down the throat? nope
ya..I do sometimes, I know.I know.sometimes I try to walk out a different door or something, but like this one guy he looked miserable, so ya sometimes
I occasionally offer a coupon for a free sub at the Subway across the street from where I normally see the panhandlers. If they won't accept the coupon, they don't need my help.
No, but if they were holding up newspapers, trying to sell them for 3 dollars each, I'd buy one. At least then they are making an effort.
yes i give money to people who panhandle sometimes not always and not much cause i normally don't have too much to spare . also some people are just so lost and mentally unstable to do alot of things and should be in some sort of hospital like this one guy i help out sometimes he had a job but got fired for being too crazy. he sits on the streets and lives on the side of the road he did too much drugs i think in the past. he did it to himself but he now lives everyday with the results of his mistakes he made he needs to be in a hospital but they won't take him.
Absolutely not! I have no intentions of supporting their drug and/or drinking habit.
It depends on the situation. Yes, there are homeless people that I feel generally sorry for, but I believe there is always work and always a place to stay at, no matter where you are. Even a homeless shelter is at least a place to sleep at for a little while. It's just a matter of if the person in mind is actually wanting to change their life, or just looking for an easy way to get money. And I'll give you two examples of situations that actually happened.
There was one time when my husband's boss was approached in the parking lot where their store is. Some guy walked up to his boss and asked for money. His boss' response? He told the guy he wouldn't GIVE him money, but asked the guy to wash the window's on his car, and he'll PAY him for the work. The guy said no.
Then, several years ago, my ex and I were approached, when we parked in the lot for our bank, by a lady in a MINK coat asking for money. I'm sorry, but if you're wearing a MINK coat, you don't need money. We didn't give her anything that time.
Will Violating Probation.?
Will violating probation change a Misdemeanor into a felony?
------------------------------...
My boyfriend when he was 17 was tried as an adult for theft, class b misdemeanor, he served his time got probation but didnt fully complete it for failing a drug test, in 2004.
In 2006 he served his warrant, and joined the army reserves and was told it was off his record. Today he got in the mail a background check saying he had a felony charge for the time he served his warrant. What can be done about this and is this possible he will be 21 next month in college and in the army reserves still, but with that on his record for life?
Answer:
No - because your boyfriend was arrested on a felony charge stemming from a warrant which was also used to violate the probation on the misdemeanor. Your bf sounds like he also spent time in prison on the suspended sentence for the misdemeanor conviction PLUS the one felony conviction - which you refer to as a warrant. The judge probably sentenced him to 18 month concurrent sentences for both convictions.
Unless you live in a state with automatic expungement, which is unlikely, both convictions are on your bf's record for life - unless he applies for a pardon from the governor.
The question was also very confusing and I doubt that accurate information was portrayed. He needs to have an exemplary record in the Army reserves, in life and with you to be eligible for a pardon down the road. Again, these depend on the laws for your state - in MD, even with a pardon, one has to wait 5 years for an expungement. If you live in FL, your bf's 2 convictions are never eligible for expungement.
my ex had a misdemeanor on his record, had it cleared off when he turned 18 and joined the Marines. To me your case should be along the same lines.
Hire an attorney.
he needs to contact the court he was tried in and he what is on his record and see why it is a felony. If he was tried as an adult it will be on his record no matter what his age was then or now. The best thing is to talk to the court that handled his case then.
Can't tell what you are talking about. The phrase "served his warrant" has no meaning that I can discern. I can say this much, that a felony charge is not the same as a felony conviction. He could have been charged with a felony and then reached a plea bargain the plead to a misdemeanor.

Will those who made libellous comments about the McCann family in FreeLawAnswer.com be arrested ?
There are two guilty parties in such a libel case, from what I have just read Yahoo is considered to be the publisher and the culprit is charged separately. All you need do is look at existing cases. I must say as an observer I am hoping for charges, my reading of current cases shows libel is an offence and already subject to legal action in several cases
Answer:
Carter-Ruck Media and Human Rights Lawyers in ur link at the bottom are in the UK and I think they could trace these scary weirdos, most of them seem 2 b here in this question.
The name and the time of posting will be enough to trace them.
Good onya
I don't know about the UK, but in the US libel is not a crime. It is a sad state of affairs if you outlaw speech in your country.
Im not getting involved.
xxx
The link you posted deals with threats made through email, not opinions of posters on a forum. Completely different.
No the people will not be charged with libel, even if charges were pursued.
Can I say Michael Moore is a fat, disgusting socialist weasel who is a heart attack waiting to happen because he can't exercise any self discipline whenever he's within 50 yards of a Taco Bell?
Book him, Dan-O.
OOOh lawks a mercy!!...This'll set the cat amongst the pigeons!!
You mark my words!
Oh my gawd atavacron...I think that's exactly what young Mr Sam is on about! Oh Crikey!!
What exactly has been said, in your "expert opinion", that is libellous? Surely it would be up to the McCann family lawyers to PROVE that anything said on here is NOT TRUE, and provide evidence to back up their claim? Methinks we might be waiting a while for that court case.
What are you on? Libel is not a crime, never has been and never will be. So you cannot be arrested. It is not a criminal matter but a civil matter. That means that he person who has been libelled can sue the nasty person who said bad things about them, with the idea of winning damages.
These cases are heard in the civil courts and not the criminal courts. There may have been some things said that could fall within some criminal law or another, I never saw them all, however, in the case of libel, it is a civil matter.
Edit:- Sam J, just read through most of the links and info you have added. Sorry chum, legally you are clutching at straws and full of wishful thinking. A lot of the stuff is from the USA, so forget it. None of the others are relevant to the matters you are so worked up about. You are reading and hearing what you want to hear but have no legal understanding. You are unable to see how the facts in any other matter have no relevance to the matter of the McCanns and what was said on Yahoo. Trust me on this. The more links you put on the bigger the fool you are making yourself out to be. Not being rude just being truthful. According to you, you can have me arrested for calling you a fool. Give up kid.
What are you on about? OOH! were all scared!! fool
why ?we live in a democracy,freedom of speech.
Depends on what is said and the evidence circulated in the media?
It all depends on the outcome - the so called 'libellous comments' could be true. Who knows?
YAWN.BORING!
Yahoo are certainly not shy of revealing identities, so they would not be liable, any more than you would be if I posted a libelous letter through your door.
However those who do the libelling should be careful, and thoughtful, they are talking about real people, even if they have almost mythical stature, it is unreasonable to make some of the remarks that I have seen, both tasteless, and accusatory.
It is fair enough to speculate as to whether they have committed a crime under Portuguese law in deserting their children, and whether they have been given special status as doctors.
It is completely out of order to impute other crimes to them. let alone the one I won't mention.
very unlikely as in the UK libel is only a civil matter
It should now be a criminal offence to speak of this matter on here...I for one am getting pretty sick of it all.
I very much doubt anyone wishes ill on Maddie or her family deep down, but this is a public forum and as such the public SHALL speak, whether this is with eloquence, knowledge sympathy, or any other emotion etc.
No one individual as a right to threaten or intimidate other users by quoting libel laws at them...
You fashion yourself as an observer...I suggest you continue to observe and let those of us who would look at cases of libel and deal with them do our jobs if libel is present.
Your two-bit scare tactics to quiet opinions you do not agree with appears to have fallen on its face.
In the future, spend less time in front of the TV/Computer and more time reading books. Maybe a little education on your part will make your arguments at least sound like you know what you are talking about.
Answer:
Carter-Ruck Media and Human Rights Lawyers in ur link at the bottom are in the UK and I think they could trace these scary weirdos, most of them seem 2 b here in this question.
The name and the time of posting will be enough to trace them.
Good onya
I don't know about the UK, but in the US libel is not a crime. It is a sad state of affairs if you outlaw speech in your country.
Im not getting involved.

The link you posted deals with threats made through email, not opinions of posters on a forum. Completely different.
No the people will not be charged with libel, even if charges were pursued.
Can I say Michael Moore is a fat, disgusting socialist weasel who is a heart attack waiting to happen because he can't exercise any self discipline whenever he's within 50 yards of a Taco Bell?
Book him, Dan-O.
OOOh lawks a mercy!!...This'll set the cat amongst the pigeons!!
You mark my words!
Oh my gawd atavacron...I think that's exactly what young Mr Sam is on about! Oh Crikey!!
What exactly has been said, in your "expert opinion", that is libellous? Surely it would be up to the McCann family lawyers to PROVE that anything said on here is NOT TRUE, and provide evidence to back up their claim? Methinks we might be waiting a while for that court case.
What are you on? Libel is not a crime, never has been and never will be. So you cannot be arrested. It is not a criminal matter but a civil matter. That means that he person who has been libelled can sue the nasty person who said bad things about them, with the idea of winning damages.
These cases are heard in the civil courts and not the criminal courts. There may have been some things said that could fall within some criminal law or another, I never saw them all, however, in the case of libel, it is a civil matter.
Edit:- Sam J, just read through most of the links and info you have added. Sorry chum, legally you are clutching at straws and full of wishful thinking. A lot of the stuff is from the USA, so forget it. None of the others are relevant to the matters you are so worked up about. You are reading and hearing what you want to hear but have no legal understanding. You are unable to see how the facts in any other matter have no relevance to the matter of the McCanns and what was said on Yahoo. Trust me on this. The more links you put on the bigger the fool you are making yourself out to be. Not being rude just being truthful. According to you, you can have me arrested for calling you a fool. Give up kid.
What are you on about? OOH! were all scared!! fool
why ?we live in a democracy,freedom of speech.
Depends on what is said and the evidence circulated in the media?
It all depends on the outcome - the so called 'libellous comments' could be true. Who knows?
YAWN.BORING!
Yahoo are certainly not shy of revealing identities, so they would not be liable, any more than you would be if I posted a libelous letter through your door.
However those who do the libelling should be careful, and thoughtful, they are talking about real people, even if they have almost mythical stature, it is unreasonable to make some of the remarks that I have seen, both tasteless, and accusatory.
It is fair enough to speculate as to whether they have committed a crime under Portuguese law in deserting their children, and whether they have been given special status as doctors.
It is completely out of order to impute other crimes to them. let alone the one I won't mention.
very unlikely as in the UK libel is only a civil matter

Will this work or does it sound stupid?
I am writing a letter to our chief of police because the road we live on isn't safe. The posted speed limit is 25mph, and yet people go well over 40 most of the time. Our road is a pretty high traffic area stretching about 2 miles N to S... with NO stop signs or etc. So I am writing to him so maybe they will put some up as well as a crosswalk. (children cross our street everyday to get to school which is a block to the west) I was thinking about either making a petition, (which isn't really needed because all he'll do is take the issue to the next city council meeting) or making extra copies of the same letter to have all our neighbors sign. Either those ideas or writing one, and having everyone sign their names on it... No matter how it goes, I just don't want them to overlook this matter. I want them to know just how many people have the same concern... (numerous young children live on our street)
So what do you think I should do?? Please help!!! Thank you!
Answer:
Having everybody on the block sign it is a good idea. I'd be sure to send a copy to each city council member and the mayor also. But don't stop at that - write to the local paper and get your neighbors to go to the city council meeting. Politicians can ignore paper, but they can't ignore an angry crowd seated 10 feet away. I don't know how roads are regulated where you live, but you might also need to get the state and the state traffic department involved - contact your state legislator.
From what I know about my town, getting a traffic light put up takes quite a bit of effort but a crosswalk with a "watch children" sign shouldn't take up as much time. Best wishes.
Sounds like a worthy approach. You might want to include any accident statistics for that area of road to support your contention that it's a problem. Also consider videotaping examples of the problem and providing the video to the city council members.
The proper way to do this is through the DMV or if there is a traffic control department report it there. The cheif of police cant get you a stopsign. If the road is as bad as you say it is, I'm sure he wont mind joining in on your request. They dont like responding to accidents as much as you dont want to be in one. You can get accident statistics on a many cities' websites nowadays. Or you could go down to city hall and ask them where to get them.
Anyway, make the police your allies in this one. I'm sure they want to help.
It's a good idea, but not to the chief of police. The police are only responsible for enforcing the laws, they don't make them. You need to contact your city's planning or traffic engineering department (may go by different names) so they can look into it. If they don't act, then YOU go to the city council meeting and bring it up, and take a few neighbors with you. Good luck =)

Will this show up on a criminal background check?
I was arrested last year in July, 2006 (bum rap) by the local police. When I appeared at court, the case was not called. My lawyer approached the bench and the Judge said there was no record or case number. The court clerk said they had nothing either. My lawyer told me that no charges had been filed, so It never went to court. I later received a letter in the mail (from my lawyer to the prosecuting attorneys office) stating that he is representing me and to contact him also if any further action will be taken. My lawyer stated again that this case was not pursued. That was last August, 2006. Will this show up on a criminal background check? I have heard conflicting stories that since it never went to court, that it will not show up. Thanks in advance for any replies
Answer:
No. The arrest record will always be there, but no conviction will turn up.
A background check should come back clear.
If you weren't convicted and didn't plea, then I don't see how it can fairly show up on a criminal background check.
Most likely the cops lost the paperwork or failed to follow their normal procedures for getting a case to court. It seems unlikely it will show up on a background check UNLESS the cops have already recorded the charge on computer
sounds like u lucked out, and someone lost some paperwork, but it there was no case, there should be any record
I would be worried about that in many way one you didn't have a file now one just pops up I would be scared that someone is setting you up be carefull and good luck
word of advice
there is ex police men on here
maybe the real thing
becareful with what you ask on here
I would find a reputable website online and go ahead and pull a criminal background check on yourself to find out if the charge is on there or not. It may cost you $20 or $30 bucks but it would probably be worth it to find out yourself so that you can find out what to do about it if it is on there. I think it would be better to do that then to wait and have prospective employers, etc. find out first.
pay for one yourself, and find out. You can do that you know. Some jobs require you to do your own,
Well you heard it from the man yourself, the judge said no record or case. So no worries. But the other party that you got involved with and the reason for the arrest, can file charges still against you, the statue of limitations, you have to check.
I don't know whether you are in Canada or the US, but from the info you have given here I would say that it would not appear on your criminal record check. That being said, I also suggest that you spend the $25 (that is what it costs in Canada at least) and have a record check done on yourself. That way you will know for sure if there is anything on your criminal record for a potential employer when they ask for one. But I think that you are without this particular record in the system-no court appearance and conviction then no record.
It will NOW that you posted it on the internet. LOL - just pulling your leg. It won't.
only if you were found guilty in a court of law ,otherwise no
Your arrest is a matter of record. However since there was no court date there can be no criminal record

Will the USA be the first nation to recognize the newly independent Kosovar state?
Long live a free Kosova where the rights of all people regardless of creed and nationality will be respect. I know some of you will start complaining about the destroyed church. Do not worry we will rebuild them and everyone is welcome to come and see them as long as they have a entry visa for Kosovo.
Answer:
despite some thoughts,that US made some mistakes in recent wars(Iraq),you must know that America is the strongest promoter of democracy in the world.they have always been in winning sides ,and in the side of people who actually fight for democracy.that's make them great,not the power they got.USA was first country to recognize Albania in 1912,and they will be first to recognize Kosovo in 2007.i am very sure of that.
why not. gwb is always looking for a pro-islam photo-op
The International Community must recognize Kosova as an independent state if it gain independence and have its own government. Thus, its people must fight as a people in order to have free Kosova.

Will the neocons finally realize that Cheneys are criminals now that they have flouted the Constitution aga?
The libby affair continues! even the staunchest neo-con has got to be disgusted with this latest bushcheney canard
Answer:
No, the neocons would prefer to see the entire constitution gone, so they could more fully control the speech, press, bodies, sex lives, party loyalties, diets, dress, religious beliefs, and ethnicity of every American Citizen- in the name of "security", of course. They are welcome to spout their idiotic babble for now, but they will someday be held accountable for plotting the overthrow of the United States of America. Anybody stupid enough to believe that creed is going to make a sloppy conspirist.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights are mere "Peaces of Paper" it is loyalty to our Fuhrer, George Chevron Bush that counts.
Seig heil, Y'all
The Neocon movement has been debunked by it's founder who now admit it was a stupid move.
The only thing that matters is that people mobalize and get a democrat majority in our government so we have the power we need to straighten this nation out. We need every seat we can get because the other side is corrupt beyond redemtion.
Be sure to vote and get others to do the same.
Chuckle, of course not! Don't you know by now that they consider the Constitution, "just another piece of paper." Anything Bush does is for the good of the country because he talks to God. At least they don't explode in public places, I'll give em that!
Gosh no.
The neocons have always presented themselves with this holier than thou sort of attitude topped off by an incredible amount of arrogance. I think this Libby thing is a prime example of the arrogance of this administration. Toss around a bit of Cheney and add a dash of Ann Coulter and the whole thing is a disgusting, lying, arrogant pile of crap. But I digress.Did I answer the question?
Nope, you NeoLibs are more criminal than Cheney will ever be.

Will the National Guard sharpshooter be tried in a civilian or military court?
just curious. this is the guy who is * 'nearly' confessing to shooting his wife while she was on stage at a restaurant.
* he is being hunted in wyoming %26 police said he left a note
Answer:
The civilians have jurisdiction, but the DA can choose to allow the military to prosecute.
Here how they usually do it in cases like this...which are rare thank god.
Civilians try the case. If the outcome is not guilty, or the punishment is too light for the military's taste they will then try him. Its not double jeopardy for some reason I can't remember, but they will most certainly "do him" the way they see fit.
Sounds illegal, but a murderer deserves the very best ; )
I haven't followed the case, but if he's still active duty, then he will be tried in military court, but if he's out of the military, he will be tried in civilian.
Not a 100% sure, not in military law, but if the incident happend off post then civilian most likely. The guy might want to talk to a JAG lawyer to clarify. He is in the National guard, so that might make a difference then also.
In my opinion..More than likely they will find him dead by suicide. He is a trained military sharpshooter and has lost everything. He will not go to trial. But , if he is caught , he will be tried in a criminal court and dishonorably discharged .
Update: Just heard that he has shot himself but they found him and He is is in hospital. If he lives, he will be tried through criminal court. They have charged him with first degree murder.

Will the Democrats make public nudity legal in all states?
Answer:
democrats are liberals...not idiots!
?
No
Obligatory.
God, I hope not.
There are too many fat-assed Republicans (and more than a few porker-Democrats).
I don't even want to imagine that!
It would be worse than "urban blight", call it "urban bloat"!
hopefully
That sounds like something those peace loving, tree hugging hippies would do. After all they let that wrinkled up old dude do naked yoga in San Francisco everyday now where anyone else, even just taking a leak in the country, they would lock up for indecent exposure/lewd behavior and make them register as a sex offender.
Well, speaking as a Democrat, as well as a practicing naturist, I have to say that at this point in time the political attitude of the country is not ready for all-out public nudity.
Will that incident come in provision of defamation?see details India.?
Assume some 2 persons are chating on a website one to one .
One of them tells other 1...''bastard %26 illegitimate'' while chating..
Will that come in the provision of DEFAMATION?India.
Answer:
Section 499 of the Indian Penal code defines defamation as Defamation.--Whoever by words either spoken or intended to
be read, or by signs or by visible representations, makes or publishes
any imputation concerning any person intending to harm, or knowing or
having reason to believe that such imputation will harm, the
reputation of such person, is said, except in the cases hereinafter
excepted, to defame that person.
Explanation 4.-No imputation is said to harm a person鈥檚
reputation, unless that imputation directly or indirectly, in the
estimation of others lowers the moral or intellectual character of
that person, or lowers the character of that person in respect of his
caste or of his calling, or lowers the credit of that person, or
causes it to be believed that the body of that person is in a loathsome
state, or in a state generally considered as disgraceful.
In this case the there is a chatting between two person only on net not in estimation of others or in presence of others hence this shall not be covered under the definition of defamation as given under the provisions of the Indian Penal Code. Since this is as such not defamation as not being imputating him in public or in presence of others even the civil damages cannot be allowed in such case.
If the utterance was in the audibility of another person, and if it can be proved by the affected person that his estimation in the mind of the person hearing the abuse is drastically eroded and the defendant not able to adduce substative evidence of the absence of mens rea and that the statement was made in the usual course of conversation, as in the past, and in jest and not with any ill-intention.
any offending word provable is liable for action. but it also depends on the circumstances. while proving, one cannot just pick the offending word and produce as evidence. background of the whole episode is important in deciding the case. it may so happen that the person who uttered the word if is able to prove that the same was made in lighter vain, the case may not stand.

Will that be false charge or proceeding against some doctor?see details India.?
Imagine some patient's family institute malicious, frivolous charge %26 proceeding of criminal negligence against some doctor ;
despite knowing that there is no just or lawful ground for such charge %26 proceeding.
They do so with intent ;
to take revenge of their relative's death under that Dr.'s care,
to cause sufferings to Dr
to cause harm to his reputation %26 professional status.
Can that aggrieved Dr. prosecute that patient's family for instituting false charge %26 proceeding in criminal court of India?
Can that aggrieved Dr. get monetary compensation for all damages he suffered because of them in civil court of India?
Answer:
Definitely any wrong criminal complaint against any person with an intend of insult %26 defamation to the reputation of such person can be compensated by monetary compensation, that will depend on the actual disclosed income of such aggrieved person for last few years %26 the actual damage in reputation that will effect his income in future by such insult or defamation caused to him by the respondent. Here such a doctor can claim sch monetary compensation for damages he suffered because of these people if he is able to prove that such act of these people were done with an intend to only harm his reputation %26 bring damage to his professional standing %26 income.
I don't know about india but here in america yes the doctor has grounds to sue for defamation of character, slander, filing false documents. etc
I do not know exactly if India courts work the same as other nations. The reason for this is that every society develops a coherent jurisprudence in concert with the evolution of its society.
For instance, although much of India's modern laws evolved in concert with the British system. The significant facet of British law which is trial by jury, suffered abolishment by the Indian government.
Usually in a British class of jurisprudence one cannot sue for malicious prosecution, unless there is clear, undeniable, conclusive proof that those complainants lied to the prosecutors or police. Further they lied with the intention to injure. It is a perjury and obstruction of justice.
In order for the physician to recover costs, he or she becomes the plaintiffs and then the onus on proof reverses. Again the doctor can do this if he or she can prove that these damages were intentional. The doctor can also sue the state prosecutor if that prosecutor was negligent in pursuing a prosecution without due diligence which is to make sure that the testimony of the prosecutors witnesses would or was accurate and truthful as can be.
Usually most Doctor's carry insurance on this and it is the insurance company that covers the legal costs and damages if any. I rather suspect that the lawyer's costs were covered by this sort of insurance. This insurance is standard legal luggage for any medical professional in the modern world.
However the damage to reputation especially in a nation with the ancient cultural heritage that India possesses carries more impact socially. The doctor could move to another part of India and reconvene his career quite easily.
I am not worried about that. What I am worried about is the mental impact on that doctor. Often most normal individuals suffer enormously psychological pressure during lengthy legal proceedings. While the cause may be just dragging that person back into another judicial maelstrom is not a good idea. Sometimes it is better to move on regardless of the outward justice of seeking vengeance.
Remember that this is a Hindu society. According to the lessons of the Gita we all have lives to live and often this is preordained. What we do during our mortal lives will determine future lives. There is virtue in accepting what is. A win is equal to a loss.
If this person was what is called a western doctor from the rather barbaric European nations then the personal image would not suffer as much. But heritage comes into a play when one is a valued member of an ancient advanced society. One cannot look at this in quite the same manner from that western perspective.
What I am working toward for you is an explanation is that a lawyer who provided the doctor's council in court already asked the same questions, and likely in the very same manner and very same list as you have done.
For that reason I rather suspect the doctor would likely state publicly and outwardly that he was thinking about it. If he hasn't taken any legal action, as time drags on it is not likely he will pursue litigation. He is likely sick of it. He could get little from the complaining family in any event. As a good Hindu he likely feels that Lord Krishna will assure that these people will be rewarded appropriately when its their time.
As people who think otherwise, who come from a more European attitude this acceptance can appear strange but we cannot stand in the shoes of the abused doctor. Not even his relatives, nor closest confidantes can do this. What we can be is supportive and hold good thoughts for a proper disposition of justice.
The most likely thing that will happen is that the doctor will leave for another part of the great nation where time and distance can soothe the wounds of life's little adversities much better than a embroiled court room war. We all can only hope for the best.
despite knowing that there is no just or lawful ground for such charge %26 proceeding.
They do so with intent ;
to take revenge of their relative's death under that Dr.'s care,
to cause sufferings to Dr
to cause harm to his reputation %26 professional status.
Can that aggrieved Dr. prosecute that patient's family for instituting false charge %26 proceeding in criminal court of India?
Can that aggrieved Dr. get monetary compensation for all damages he suffered because of them in civil court of India?
Answer:
Definitely any wrong criminal complaint against any person with an intend of insult %26 defamation to the reputation of such person can be compensated by monetary compensation, that will depend on the actual disclosed income of such aggrieved person for last few years %26 the actual damage in reputation that will effect his income in future by such insult or defamation caused to him by the respondent. Here such a doctor can claim sch monetary compensation for damages he suffered because of these people if he is able to prove that such act of these people were done with an intend to only harm his reputation %26 bring damage to his professional standing %26 income.
I don't know about india but here in america yes the doctor has grounds to sue for defamation of character, slander, filing false documents. etc
I do not know exactly if India courts work the same as other nations. The reason for this is that every society develops a coherent jurisprudence in concert with the evolution of its society.
For instance, although much of India's modern laws evolved in concert with the British system. The significant facet of British law which is trial by jury, suffered abolishment by the Indian government.
Usually in a British class of jurisprudence one cannot sue for malicious prosecution, unless there is clear, undeniable, conclusive proof that those complainants lied to the prosecutors or police. Further they lied with the intention to injure. It is a perjury and obstruction of justice.
In order for the physician to recover costs, he or she becomes the plaintiffs and then the onus on proof reverses. Again the doctor can do this if he or she can prove that these damages were intentional. The doctor can also sue the state prosecutor if that prosecutor was negligent in pursuing a prosecution without due diligence which is to make sure that the testimony of the prosecutors witnesses would or was accurate and truthful as can be.
Usually most Doctor's carry insurance on this and it is the insurance company that covers the legal costs and damages if any. I rather suspect that the lawyer's costs were covered by this sort of insurance. This insurance is standard legal luggage for any medical professional in the modern world.
However the damage to reputation especially in a nation with the ancient cultural heritage that India possesses carries more impact socially. The doctor could move to another part of India and reconvene his career quite easily.
I am not worried about that. What I am worried about is the mental impact on that doctor. Often most normal individuals suffer enormously psychological pressure during lengthy legal proceedings. While the cause may be just dragging that person back into another judicial maelstrom is not a good idea. Sometimes it is better to move on regardless of the outward justice of seeking vengeance.
Remember that this is a Hindu society. According to the lessons of the Gita we all have lives to live and often this is preordained. What we do during our mortal lives will determine future lives. There is virtue in accepting what is. A win is equal to a loss.
If this person was what is called a western doctor from the rather barbaric European nations then the personal image would not suffer as much. But heritage comes into a play when one is a valued member of an ancient advanced society. One cannot look at this in quite the same manner from that western perspective.
What I am working toward for you is an explanation is that a lawyer who provided the doctor's council in court already asked the same questions, and likely in the very same manner and very same list as you have done.
For that reason I rather suspect the doctor would likely state publicly and outwardly that he was thinking about it. If he hasn't taken any legal action, as time drags on it is not likely he will pursue litigation. He is likely sick of it. He could get little from the complaining family in any event. As a good Hindu he likely feels that Lord Krishna will assure that these people will be rewarded appropriately when its their time.
As people who think otherwise, who come from a more European attitude this acceptance can appear strange but we cannot stand in the shoes of the abused doctor. Not even his relatives, nor closest confidantes can do this. What we can be is supportive and hold good thoughts for a proper disposition of justice.
The most likely thing that will happen is that the doctor will leave for another part of the great nation where time and distance can soothe the wounds of life's little adversities much better than a embroiled court room war. We all can only hope for the best.
Will someone go to jail on thier 1st felony with no prior record?
in any felony situation.
Answer:
felonies generally carry a sentence of no less than one year in prison.
Possibly yes, depends on the severity of the crime. Good luck.
Depends on what you did. But yes, most likely. Watch your bung-hole!
It is more than likely that some jail time will result.
It just depends on the felony the judge and your lawyer you could get probation it just all depends
Depends on the crime, murder of course. Armed robbery, drug offenses often carry manditory sentances. Simple non aggrivated assault c, maybe. Most other assault charges and a,b and c felonies, expect to do some time. Class d, you get probation, depending on the crime.
Felony offenses are either a state or a federal offense.
If it is a state offense, then your state's sentencing laws are controlling. In some states, there are sentencing guidelines which judges are required to follow. These typically indicate a range of punishments varying from presumptive probation to presumptive prison time for an offense. Different states also give their judges varying amounts of leeway in determining sentencing.
At the federal level, there are the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. These were once mandatory, but the US Supreme Court has since struck down the idea of a mandatory sentencing scheme at the federal level. (Some crimes STILL have mandatory sentences, usually only the capital ones).
For specific information on the possible punishment for an offense, you need to contact an attorney licensed in your state. For a referral, contact your local or state bar association.

Will scooter really pay that fine or will his defence fund cover that as well?
why do we bother, our justice system is a joke.
Answer:
Agreed. This is the worst presidency in history. The Daily Show can't even keep up. Even if he does 'pay' the fine, his buddies will look after him. Anyone running as a Republican in the next election must be an idiot. The Cheney Regime is screwing this party for ages to come.
He won't. Watch the fine be paid by others. This whole situation is ridiculous.
It's kinda scary that no matter how low Bush's approvals go, there will still be a core of true believers.
I think there could be incontrovertable video evidence of George and Osama at Camp David planning 9/11 and celebrating the day's work by roasting a live baby and eating it -- with white wine, no less -- and there would still be people saying "Media bias!! Best President Ever!"
Yeah, I hear you.
The law is exempt for some in power, while if we jaywalk, we get thrown in jail.
The American governmental system is really starting to anger me.
Scooter will never pay a dime, he will be given a job on the board of directors of the American Enterprise Institute and vacation in the Bahamas with Kenny "Boy" Lay.
Are you kidding? They are already starting his speaking career, and he signed a book deal quicker than the news was released. Best is the fact that there is a 'fund raiser' planned to pay his fines without it costing him a cent.

Will police reports show up on background checks?
If a person had a police report filed against them but no charges pressed, will that show up on a background check?
Answer:
No, BUT
If you are arrested (even if found not guilty/charges dropped) the court dockets are made available to the public.
Typically for employment the employer just runs a background check for convictions. If you have never been convicted of a crime then you will not have a criminal record.
The one for PA is linked below.
No.
If there was a subsequent conviction, yes.
Only convictions show up on a background check, not reports.

Will Obama surprise us with ghetto behavior like NFL - M. Vick?
RICHMOND, Va.聽鈥斅?When a Bad Newz Kennels dog was wounded in a losing fight, NFL star Michael Vick was consulted before the animal was doused with water and electrocuted.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,2897...
Answer:
No, he won't surprise anyone as we all know he's a shi%26.
dunno
That's a very racist comment to make. Obama is a great senator and one of the best candidates the democrats have for presidency.
I don't think dog fighting is a ghetto behavior. When I think of dog fighting, I think about Whites and Hispanics. But just because Vick is black his actions have to be ghetto?
As many white people and hispanic people are involved in dogfighting too. Why would Obama even think about dogfighting he is trying to run for president andhe doesn't have time for that unethical nonsense. Dogfighting isn't ghetto, is is justs illegal and wrong.

Will not that act amount to intentional insult under section 504 Indian Penal code?see more?
Suppose some lady says some known man to her on phone or
on the net while chating one to one....''bastard'' or illegitimate''or ''caracterless'' or second hand or used piece.
Will not that act of her amount to intentional insult under section 504 Indian Penal Code?
Answer:
No such a chatting or conrvestation is between two individuals not in presence of any one else or in public, hence neither it is defemation as defined under section 499 as Whoever by words either spoken or intended to
be read, or by signs or by visible representations, makes or publishes
any imputation concerning any person intending to harm, or knowing or
having reason to believe that such imputation will harm, the
reputation of such person, is said, except in the cases hereinafter
excepted, to defame that person.
Explanation 4.-No imputation is said to harm a person's
reputation, unless that imputation directly or indirectly, in the
estimation of others, lowers the moral or intellectual character of
that person, or lowers the character of that person in respect of his
caste or of his calling, or lowers the credit of that person, or
causes it to be believed that the body of that person is in a lothsome
state, or in a state generally considered as disgraceful.
Nor it will be an insult as provided in section 504 as Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the
peace.--Whoever intentionally insults, and thereby gives provocation
to any person, intending or knowing it to be likely that such
provocation will cause him to break the public peace, or to commit any
other offence, shall be punished with imprisonment of either
description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or
with both.
As you see in both these provisions what is important that such converstation where such insult or imputaion is levied should be in presence of other person or in public .
A straight answer can be obtained if you analyse Sec 504 of IPC. The essential ingradients are i) there shall be intentional insult; ii) such insult shall provoke any person; iii) the person who insulting knows that it cause him to break public peace; iv) or to commit any other offence.
In the instant case, if such provocation cause him to break public peace or any other offence, then Sec.504 will attract. So here though the insult is intentional one, i feel that it does not have the other ingradients and it will not come under Sec 504.

Will it ruin my CREDIT!? PLEASE HELP!?
Ok so i was one of the people who who got scammed by a person on Craigslist. I basiccly got F*cked out of 8,000 dollars. Now i have collectors calling me. They said they could work out a payment plan for me... Will this ruin my credit score if i pay it off making small payments? Is my credit unsavable? I'm only 20 and my credit score is about 700ish, so i don't want it to hurt my credit. But i only make about $300 a week, not to mention rent and college tuition, there is no way i can pay that off in a short period of time... I guess my main quesion is if i pay if off slowly over a period of like 2-3 years... does it hurt my credit, and if so by how much should i expect it to drop.?
Answer:
Ask the agency how they handle payment plans. Specifically, ask that if you set up a payment plan and continually make payments in a timely manner, will they not credit report your debt. Some will comply with your request, some won't. It also depends on your payment plan amount. If it's large enough, some of them might comply with your request.
Most likely the debt will show up on your credit report as a collection account, unfortunately. Is there a way you can borrow the money from your folks and then pay them back to help save your credit?
One key piece of advice is to be very nice to the agency. They will be more helpful to your plight if you're polite and very sincere.
Your credit is in trouble any way you look at it. THis way you are on record and clearing the problem. Ignoring it just leaves it on the record.
If you make all the payments on time, and it is a collection agency that is collecting from you, you shouldn't drop more than 50 points. And that is aggressive. If it isn't a collection agency, but actually just the person or company you owe, as long as you make your payments the worst that could happen would be maybe 10 points. If it is new credit, and not a collection agency, you might actually get a higher score.
IT SHOULD NOT HURT IF YOU MAKE THE PAYMENTS. IF YOU WERE SCREWED ISN'T THEIR SOMETHING ELSE YOU CAN DO LIKE SUE THEM FOR SCREWING YOU OVER. MAKE SURE IT'S A LEGIT CREDITOR. CALL HE SPONSORS OF CRAIG'S LIST GIVE THEM THE DETAILS THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU.
No paying it will distroy your credit.
Working out somehting so that you can make payments on it is showing that you are trying to correct the problem.
Work with them.
Credit is saveable. Just work with them, explain to them your sistuation, and if you didn't do it over a 2-3 yr period then what would you do? If you dont pay it it will mess up your credit. Good luck
I would try going to your local bank and explaining the situation if they will give you the loan to pay off talk to the collection agency and see if you pay it off in one payment if they will take it off your report. Then when you make payments to the bank it will help your revolving credit. If the bank will not go with you the payments will hurt a little but you can bring it back up just make sure the payment you set up is doable for you...and NEVER pay more or less than the agreed amount that sends flags up, even if you can afford more one month. Hope that helps and good job on being young and worrying about your credit!!
Realty is It won't, if you make a agreement and stick to it!! that being said
Put into the agreement if you prove fraud the agreement is void and no reporting to the the biggest scams of all!! the credit bureau's
I can answer your question by explaining what I have been through with credit in the states, where a persons worth is measures by his credit, it seems.
When I arrived in the states 5 years ago from the UK, My credit score didn't come with me so I had to start at 400.
On top of which I needed to get a credit card, or store card to start building credit, but couldn't get them approved because of my credit score.catch 22.
On top of all this, I am paying my wife's debt from her college days.
Only 5 years later my credit is almost 800. I did it by getting a couple of 'easy to get' credit cards like Capital One who are terrible companies and have an annual fee, but it was enough to get up to the next level where I could then get store cards. Having a small balance each month while paying at least the minimum payment each month is the ideal..credit score wise. Not paying them off, or having high balances, but having a slight balance and NEVER miss a payment. Keep asking for credit limit increases and after you get more established with higher limits on some credit cards, close some store cards and other cards so you don't have too much open, that can also bring down your score.
You want to minimize the amount of inquiries creditors check your credit because each one stays on your credit for two years and brings down your score every time (despite what other people may tell you).
Pay at least the minimum each month and your score WILL NOT do down 1 point. Just go to annualcreditreport.com to get your free credit report and make sure it's accurate and it will tell you more areas where you can improve your credit.
Good luck.
